Beauty and the Geek Australia looking for kiwi contestants

If you’re either super smart or super hot (but not both) then Beauty and the Geek Australia’s producers are looking for you.

The show is seeking out New Zealand contestants to take part in the latest season of the Channel 7 reality series this year.

So if you’re keen on embarrassing yourself in two countries in the hopes of winning $100,000, then head over to the tv3 website to apply.

Shine Australia’s Executive Producer Marty Benson says, “As a result of the success of Beauty and the Geek Australia in New Zealand it makes perfect sense to spread our casting net. I am really excited by this decision and look forward to meeting Beauties and Geeks across the Tasman.”

The Beauties are vivacious, fun-loving girls who enjoy socialising and being the centre of attention. They’re preened and ready to take centre stage, but ask their opinion on politics, the solution to a mathematical equation, or how to reboot a hard drive and they’ll be stumped.

The Geeks are intellectual pin-ups. They love sci-fi, comics, gaming and computers. They are socially-awkward, conversationally-challenged and some are still waiting for their first kiss.

In each episode there will be difficult but hilarious challenges. Beauties will be challenged to find their inner geek by getting to understand the world of their partners. The Geeks will have to venture way out of their comfort zones as they try to learn the secrets of good grooming, appropriate conversation and successful social intercourse.

The winners of the challenges select two teams to compete against each other in an elimination quiz. The team with the least correct answers is eliminated.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

• Single Beauties and Geeks between the ages of 18 – 30

• People who are happy to be on camera

• People who are up for some fun

• Citizens or permanent residents of New Zealand
